Lander Hall is a University of Washington residence hall in the West Campus area that opened in 2008. It offers a range of room styles and is connected to dining and other student-use amenities. The consistent bright spot students mention: students tend to value the west campus location because it is close to many central campus destinations and other residential buildings.
